What?
DunDraCon 42. One of the oldest game conventions in the USA. It’s the oldest con on the West Coast. Started out back in 1975, when D&D was known only to a relatively small group.
Flash forward to 2003. I had attended two DDCs a decade earlier, and in ’02, but this was my first attempt to GM GURPS at DunDraCon. And, I’ve been GMing every since.
My GURPS events:
Since 2003, my games had been set in WWII, the Prime Directive Universe, Infinite Worlds (Infinity Patrol and Order of the Hourglass) .
This year the setting will be Prime Directive. PD is the roleplaying setting for the Star Fleet Universe, SFU. SFU is the setting for science fiction space combat game Star Fleet Battles. Suffice the setting is like Classic Star Trek. For more detail on how the creators of SFB do not get sued by a major conglomerate read here.
Here are descriptions of my events:

You repossess starships from buyers who didn’t pay and return them to the rightful owners. Usually it’s the creditors. It’s exciting and lucrative. Some think it’s even fun. Fun? Where is our next job? What is our next job?
Passed the deadline
I missed my self-imposed deadline. Thus the pre-Con descriptions are more than a week late. This will be posted anyway as I work my post-DunDraCon report.
